Annual International Youths Conference on Counter-Terrorism

1 BACKGROUND “Terrorism” is a word that has been afforded a definition for some hundreds of years, but it became more widely known after the 9/11 attack in the United States of America. The most sincere solution by most Governments across the World has been engaging into war with the Terrorist. War has seen most unfortunate victims decide to take vengeance against those who affected their daily norm of life. This is has been seen to affect schools. Students tend to leave college and abandon their rational thinking and join the most heinous terrorist groups across the world. Questions a Human Being can pause is: is it the harsh economic realities – do such harsh economic realities make a Human Being easily swayed – is it that Human Beings have disconnected from the Childhood social factors and centered on materialistic world, whereby if you cannot attain then you get frustrated “anomie”. There are a thousand and one questions that one have when delving into all forms of terrorisms that occur in our society. Such questions are what International Youth Action Against Terrorism is concerned with. The International Secretariat of International Youth Action Against Terrorism (IYAAT) strongly believes that by going back to the basics, learning and critically analyzing the writings and dictions of various persons within the society we can get to know what terrorism of a certain nature is all about and how can the same be addressed. Currently, the mainstream media pours to the public what it gets as firsthand information but a few will tend to look for the root cause of the problem. The people who are less knowledgeable consume such information without raising an eyebrow. Ignorance has swept most of us and this practice will affect the International Community largely. Looking at the dynamic society where-by technology is accessible to everyone who can utilize the same technological gadgets. Currently, most people believe the media more and the information they receive is what they act on it irrespective of some of them not proffering the inner circumstances that escalated the end result.

1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT The inclusion of the Youths across the globe in these efforts however has always remained on a general level while it should be noted that most, if not all its participants and victims are youths from across the world. The efforts of the Global Governments in counterterrorism, and those of Human Rights organizations in profiling are well acknowledged. Even with these said efforts, there’s lack of dedicated fora available for the youth to assist in averting the underlying gap of cohesion and the spirit joining hands in global peace, as youths globally, on matters of terrorism, still view each other through the biased lenses of Religion and race, which at the slightest provocation puts the world back into anarchy.

Annual International Youths Conference on Counter-Terrorism

International Youth Action Against Terrorism (Herein after referred to as IYAAT) is a Foundation that its mandate is discriminative and indiscriminative in nature. IYAAT is discriminative because it focuses on a particular Class of Human Beings within the world. The Class of concern is the Youth. IYAAT however acknowledges that the phrase “Youth” does not have a consistent meaning. This is provided herein under in terms of age parenthesis: Organisation United Nation Secretariat United Nation Education Scientific and Cultural Organisation International Labour Organisation United Nation Habitat (Youth Funds) United Nation Children’s Funds World Health Organisation United Nation Population Fund United Nations Development Programme African Youth Charter

Definition of Youth (Age parenthesis) 15 – 24 15 – 24 15 – 24 15 – 32 15 – 24 15 – 24 15 – 24 15 – 30 15 – 35

IYAAT does adopt the African Youth Charter definitions on who a Youth is, it should be noted that the same definition is closely related to that of United Nation habitat (Youth Funds) and United Nations Development Programme for reasons being that the two have an impact on developing the status of the Youth. IYAAT is indiscriminative because it targets Human Beings from all structures across the world; thus, International Youth Action Against Terrorism is working close with everyone irrespective of their sex, gender, ethnicity, religion, race, language, color, disability, culture, dress, health status. IYAAT also applauds the rich text of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that it also hopes if the same is appreciated by its target the rich text of International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights will be achieved. IYAAT notes that Terrorism is basically an act or omission that is executed so as to impact fear within a person or persons. Thus, apart from the daily understanding of the heinous attacks being made by various terrorist groups networked across the world, IYAAT acknowledges State and/or Persons Terrorism. State Terrorism includes that act or omission committed by a Democratic and Dictatorship State. A Democratic State will inflict fear on foreigners in their State of other States but will not attempt to touch their own citizens whilst Dictatorship form of Terrorism is an act or omission that a State commits against its own subject. All these acts or omissions have a common result which is to inflict fear that can make that group of people change their view or opinion.

Person Terrorism, it based on the legal view. This is where-by the person (a juridical or an artificial person) undertake steps that will inflict fear on people or persons. Therefore, it is noteworthy that with a sincere definition of what terrorism is, there is likelihood of changing the perspective of the youth of what terrorism. This will help The Youth become the agents of their own peers, juniors and seniors. If this objective is achieved, we will be preparing a sufferable society. We will have an International Community that appreciate our own differences; hence, shun from mere manipulation of phrases that will lead to one fragment antagonizing against the other or the rest. Cyber-terrorism is also an emerging factor but there is less literature on it. Nevertheless, there are cases whereby cyber-attacks can be utilize to achieve the negative fruits of terrorism. For instance, the Security Agency in United States of America stated that planes should recheck the passenger Wi-Fi might or can be hacked into and maybe hacker may control the plane.

2 JUSTIFICATIONS, OBJECTIVES OF THE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE ON COUNTER-TERRORISM With reference results from the past decade, there are some universal truths that cannot be departed from: • • •





1

Successful engagement of Youths have led to better policy formulation, implementation and evaluation; There has been an increase in recognition of Youths in social development processes; Youths across the globe have been effectively used to clarify government and organizations’ missions and visions. It is within this context that young people probably have their strongest impact. Universally agreed that young people help clarify and bring focus to organizations’ mission and vision, through informal and formal means, becoming the keepers and protectors of the world; The exclusion of youth from policy-making processes and power structures, whether deliberate or unintentional, can create significant tensions in society which can manifest itself in forms that represent a serious threat to the social fabric, such as crime and violence 1 . During a 2005 YEN High-Level Dialogue a Rwandan State Secretary stated: “A lot of Rwanda’s problems in the past have had to do with young people who are uneducated, unemployed, and unemployable. This meant that they were fertile ground for manipulation and for misuse by the selfish politicians that led to the1994 genocide”. Poor economic and social environment can foster conditions in which youth without prospects are manipulated, and are recruited or forced into armed conflicts, both

5.1 FOCUS AREAS From the above objectives, the conference will focus on the following topics, subject to revision on annual basis, so as to facilitate the discussion of the implementation of the Global counter-terrorism agenda, bearing it in mind that some of the discussions would be linked with the ongoing UN’s Post-2015 Development Agenda: • • • •

Annual International Youths Conference on Counter-Terrorism

5.2 ENVISAGED OUTPUTS AND RESULTS The conference will identify positive counter-terrorism developments in the past years, remaining gaps and challenges, as well as emerging issues and priorities for the future to ensure that the broader global counter-terrorism agenda, advance the realization of human rights and social justice in counter-terrorism strategies. The Conference will – while counting on the Global Youth Fora it shall provide - bring together positive developments, good practices and lessons learned in analyzing the involvement of the youths in acts of terrorism. Furthermore, the Conference will stimulate debate, identify new approaches while promoting the replication and scaling-up of demonstrated successful interventions. Keeping in mind that the IYAAT’s operation and programmes are of three-tier significance: •

One, the Counterterrorism efforts can mainly benefit from this organization as a test and implementation platform to popularize their projects aimed at the Global Youths without the religious and/or racial bias reception it would otherwise receive.



The second benefit shall accrue to the United Nations Global Counter Terrorism body in achieving its Post-2015 development agenda using the youths as participants and policy makers, while at the same having touch with the reality of the state of Global Youths.



The third significance shall accrue to the Global Youths as they finally get a broadbased but specific platform on their state and needs on the ground level, as well as gain practical experience in participation in the proposed IYAAT year round activities. IYAAT’s means of youth participation is through the inclusion of the Resident Council (RC) in the IYAAT’s organization structure and all functional positions in the International Secretariat (IX) .The RC is coordinated by the Director of Resident Council who sits in the IX.

The Conference will also identify solutions for the future and concrete follow-up actions in order to ensure that a human rights-based approach is an integral part of counter-terrorism strategies, as well as youths’ participation in counter-terrorism programmes. The outcomes of the conference, analytical papers, presentations and rapporteur summary will be hosted on the IYAAT web platform for Beyond 2016 consultations www.iyaat.org, and on preferred platforms of all organizing partners to this conference. The discussions emerging from the conference will inform the work of IYAAT going forward.
